Free Music Review: Sparkling recording of an old favourite
Hit: 5 Stars
This lavish revival brought back a score that had never really been forgotton. At the time of the revival, however, most recordings of songs from the show came from England or France. American labels had not begun recording full cast albums when NANETTE was first scolded in 1925, and the first modern era recording was made in the 1950s in England (and released in the U.S. on one side of an LP on EPIC, backed by highlights from SHOW BOAT.) A later full LP was made by EMI in England and issued as part of their Studio Two "Nights at the Theatre" series. NONE of these early issues can hold a candle to this album in terms of sheer energy and pizazz.Now, this is NOT how the show sounded originally. It has bveen given a full re-orchstration making it sound more like other shows on Broadway in the late 1960s: Big, Bold and Brassy. Producer Thomas Shepard includes some amsuing dialogue bits. The funniest track on the album is still the Act Two finale with pieces of the score woven into a musical scene. Listen to Ruby Keeler's reading of her lines: She's no "method" actress...she sounds as if she has just been handed a script and doing a first reading. Still, that's part of the charm of this album. Ruby more than makes up for her lack of acting skill when she leads the company in a rousing tap routine midway through act one that will set your hair on end!
For this remastered CD the opening number from Act Two (Peach on the Beach) has been restored - It was recorded in 1971 buyt left off the album for timing reasons. This resulted in a re-organization of several songs for the original Lp and the sequence is now corrected to reflect the 3- act structure of the farce.
This album was a steady best-seller on record and is now a welcome issue as part of the Columbia Broadway Masterworks series from Sony. Maybe the Cd will inspire another Broadway revival!
No, No, Nanette - The New 1925 Musical (1971 Broadway Revival Cast) Poster
"The New 1925 Musical" is how this hit revival production was advertised upon its debut in 1970, already clueing its potential audience into the camp value and appeal it offered. In this regard, No, No, Nanette was the blueprint for such modern revivals as Guys & Dolls or How to Succeed in Business, which presented social mores once considered somewhat seriously with tongue now planted firmly in cheek. The show got great marquee value from tap dancing star Ruby Keeler appearing in her first Broadway show since 1940, not to mention the four Tony Awards it scored that year; the revival ended up running twice as long as the 1925 original. What sounded campy in the early '70s, however, may sound slightly dated in our more irony-filled times; nevertheless, you can't go wrong with the three great standards that came from the Vincent Youmans/Irving Caesar score--"Too Many Rings Around Rosie," "I Want to Be Happy," and "Tea for Two"--and the production (which also means this CD) puts the last two songs to ample use throughout, sounds of tap dancing totally intact. Broadway music connoisseurs will surely find it delightful. Sony gives the rerelease its regular Broadway Masterworks series update treatment, with previously unreleased tracks, elongated songs (featuring material cut from the original album), and a broadcast of the stars backstage on opening night, which informs us that the top ticket price for the show was an astronomical $15! --Bill HoldshipBroadway & Vocalists Music CDs
